"About Varius, I've heard everything," Yuri said, causing Harold to look at her in surprise. "Really...?" "I don't think Varius intended to disappear. I think he just overused his powers, but I have a feeling he’ll come back." Harold responded wearily. "So, let's get along from now on." "What?" Harold’s voice grew louder than before. "I have no intention of doing that. If you're frustrated, go to Lars." Harold said coldly. "Lars and I can’t create Varius. Varius is our child, so it has to be you." Harold sat up, looking quite exasperated. "Look, I’m not in the mood for that right now. Are you crazy? There's no way Varius will be born again." "Why are you so sure? You haven’t tried the Gerbera yet, have you?" "No, but..." "If a human child had died, I wouldn't be thinking about this. But we're gods, anything is possible!" Yuri was dead serious. Harold was speechless. "You can grieve later. Let's try everything we can." The miracle Yuri hoped for didn't happen. "See, it’s not that easy." Harold looked as if he had expected this. "If we don't genuinely love each other, Varius won't come back." "What if he doesn’t come back even if we do?" "Believe that he will." "This is ridiculous..." Completely overwhelmed by Yuri's determination, Harold began to think that maybe it was possible. Yuri kissed Harold, and he finally started to feel the mood. They made love again. Yuri felt their divine energies intertwine, but nothing happened. "It’s still no good," Harold said. "Let's try again." Yuri spoke casually. "You're relentless!" "We've only tried twice. If it doesn’t work after a thousand times, I’ll give up." "A thousand times!?" "It will happen sooner." "You just want to do it, don’t you?" Harold still suspected that. "If that were the case, I’d go to someone else. Think of Varius and embrace me with determination." Yuri’s expression was intense. "Alright... (This is hopeless...)" Feeling quite desperate, Harold leaned over Yuri. Finally, their feelings united. Their divine energies swirled and intertwined, ascending together. Yuri saw the divine energy taking shape. "The hammer is coming!" "What?" Harold twisted his face to look up. A golden hammer floated in the air. The hammer turned into a child and fell down gently. "Varius!" "Varius!" Harold, crying, sat up and held Varius. Varius looked confused but was held by Harold. "I was so worried when you suddenly disappeared." "I didn't disappear." Varius said. "You did disappear." "I was in the armor, waiting for my power to return." "What?" "Dad locked me up. It was terrible." "What!?" "Mom, it's too soon. I don’t have my strength yet." "Well, I missed you so much. Stay by Harold’s side." Yuri took Varius from Harold and kissed his cheek. "Let’s go show your face to Curia and Jake. They’ll be happy." Yuri dressed, holding Varius, and took him outside. "She’s really a crazy woman," Harold muttered, feeling tears of joy at seeing Varius again.
